I was just watching this crazy movie called ebola syndrome, and man, things get wild fast. So, basically, the boss's wife is cheating on him, and then he unexpectedly walks through the door with some random guy she's seeing. It turns into this total nightmare where he forces his wife to pee on her lover, which is just insane. Then, he actually wants to castrate the guy, but somehow manages to convince the guy that he'll just do it to himself, and the boss even hands him the scissors. I guess the boss is already starting to toast to the whole situation when the guy suddenly smashes a bottle right into his face, stabs his henchman in the groin, and then slams the boss's head into a folding table before jumping on it to break his neck. To top it all off, he cuts out his mistress's tongue because she decided to snitch on him to her husband. Honestly, all that chaos happens within the first five minutes or something like that.

2001: A Space Odyssey. If that isn't pure genius, especially with that unbeatable Also Sprach Zarathustra track playing in the background, I don't know what is. Total cliché, sure, but still...
After that, my lineup usually goes Blade Runner (with that Vangelis score), Terminator 2 (Williams) Apocalypse Now, Once Upon a Time in the Wild West, Citizen Kane and my personal favorite, The Godfather. I also love how they worked Mozart's Requiem (Dies irae) into X-Men 2 during that chase through the White House.
Does The Lion King count too? 😳 😁
